Sing Sparrow Sing (The Ballad of Walter Kohn) - Among The Oak & Ash

The trees are in silhouette once more

Their branches like a sable strand

Stitched up and through the sky my love

To hold it to this land

Sing, sparrow, sing

Sing me a pretty song

Sing, sparrow, sing

One more

Before I’m gone long gone

One more

Before I’m gone

And when they find you here someday

Face-down on that floor

An ear to a ghost man’s railyard weight

For that train to take one more

Sing, sparrow, sing

Sing me a pretty song

Sing, sparrow, sing

One more

Before I’m gone long gone

One more

Before I’m gone

And if you should change your mind tonight

Turn, turn around as you please

And we’ll meet again in some sweet spring

Beneath the old black trees

Sing, sparrow, sing

Sing me a pretty song

Sing, sparrow, sing

One more

Before I’m gone long gone

One more

Before I’m gone

Clementine, clementine, clementine

Oh clementine

Clementine, clementine, clementine

Oh clementine

And get thee behind me, satan
